Chicago Mesothelioma Attorneys

Chicago is a city which has long been associated with industry and massive buildings. In the 20th century, Chicago saw the rise of many large industrial buildings and projects. Each one of those buildings had a lot of workers working on its construction and later had many workers working within it. During most of the 20th century the known carcinogen asbestos was often used in the construction of buildings as well in the production and packaging of finished goods processed within factories throughout the city of Chicago. Although American medicine knew about the link between many illnesses and asbestos, companies continued to expose their workers to asbestos, in many cases without even letting their employees know about how dangerous asbestos was or providing them with any protective devices.

Currently, the aggressive and deadly cancer mesothelioma is at the center of many lawsuits relating to asbestos exposure during a normal working day. Courts have been ruling in favor of employees in mesothelioma cases throughout the country and world. Employers knew about the risks asbestos posed to their employees but continued to use the low cost fire proofer up until its ban in the mid 1970’s. Because mesothelioma can take decades to develop, many people exposed over 30 years ago are just being diagnosed with mesothelioma now.
